Russia, China and all the BRICS will just sit back, and watch the USA divide and bankrupt itself. They have defined some key interests and red-lines close to themselves (ie. Ukraine, Taiwan), but otherwise, they don't need to do anything against the USA per se.

DC Marxists and and the Uniparty will have a much more direct effect and finish the job of castrating the USA

Its George Kennan's 1947 "containment" policy, as originally intended - just reversed.

The most important thing is that we have more diversity.
I can’t wait to have a black female midget lesbian, with a penchant for buggery, to be my boss.
Our future is bright.

That would be very unusual. Leftists are rarely taken out at a relatively young age. Evil lives far too long on this Earth and ruins the lives of millions daily.

Well I certainly hope he's getting treated only by ethnically diverse doctors who have benefited from affirmative action education and hiring... That's the most important thing here, right democrats?

Believing myself to be a civilized person I don’t wish the worst on Austin ... well maybe enough ‘bad’ to get him out of his current job and into a short retirement.

There is a NY cancer doctor using Austin’s relapsing or whatever it is in his commercials. The doc says don’t let this be you.
